I still remember buying this online version day one. My Makoto ran through plenty of people. I even fought against PIKACHUAKUMA a few times and won some. It was a simpler time.
Diego Lockhart For a long time I thought Alpha 3 was the best one, but I just recently got my hands on this one and I have to agree. Even though there was no Vega :(
***** and no Cammy... and the combos in this game are, well I don't know how to put it, cranky, I guess, hard to pull off, but the game is so cool and well animated.
Diego Lockhart I agree that the combos felt a little "off". But from what I've heard about this game, that's actually because the game runs at such a ridiculous smooth pace, that every single input needs to be frame by frame perfect. So it will feel much different than the others since that's what we're used to

I'm so glad that Capcom went back to the 3rd strike routes for SF6. the last time we ever got this aesthetic was in 1999, now in 2023 it absolutely slaps
The pause before the “RESURRECTION” drop makes me think of a montage where one of the fighters has gotten through all the others, knocked Gill down and turns to walk away, only for Gill to resurrect…and then the player character launches into comboing the absolute crap out of Gill until he stays down for good.
I really hope we get a release of this someday, the version we got in the recent anniversary collection didnt come close to the full package we got on ps3/360 ^^
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF STREET FIGHTER 3! I don't even play the game much anymore, but what a wonderful track this is. For crying out loud, please make sure that the next iteration of Street Fighter i.e., Street Fighter 5 or an update to SF4 has a track that is as pumping as this one.
For the first time in my life I wish there was one of those 10 hour extended versions. This song is over way to fast and reloading the video takes me back to earth every time. I wanna stay in space man
Gill SF3 and Vega SF2 are the hardest opponents in every Street Fighter game I’ve ever played. Even in the lowest difficulty, they’re difficult to beat.
Always at least two stages in the street. In SFV, there were three in vanilla, four by the time Balrog came in, and five by the time we got Cody. Lot of streets in these fighters.
@@DillonMeyer we mean by its theme. The reason people say 3rd strike is the black one is because street fighter had been ingrained into black culture and 3rd strike was the one that had fully embraced that with the soundtrack, and the announcer. It's also cool that this is the best one out of them all too.
@@z-chan946 "ingrained into black culture". The same people that say these kind of things are the ones claiming racism when someone says "rap is for black people". It clearly isnt.
This song embodies street fighter very well. The fact that the sounds from the game mix so well in the song gets me hyped even more. You can't love street fighter and not feel this song
Except 3rd Strike isn't littered with half-assed clones (at worst, there's Ken and Yang, and they aren't THAT similar to their originals). And was a competitively viable game ON PURPOSE (not because the developer wasn't thinking when he added in a potentially game-changing mechanic) And has a decent community that isn't always fighting with the communities of the other games in the series. And is actually better than the games that came after it.
Since I haven’t touched my xbox360 in ages and mostly play third strike off of the anniversary collection I haven’t heard this song since high school man I missed ittt
